Understanding the Workspace

The three panels

When you open a project, the workspace splits into three areas: Chat on the left, Code Editor in the center, and File Tree on the right. You can drag the dividers between them to resize.

Using the chat

Type what you want to automate in plain English. The AI responds in two modes:

• Planning (default) - You describe your goal, the AI explains how it would approach it and asks clarifying questions. Nothing is written to your code yet.
• Building - When you're happy with the plan, click Build This. The AI writes and edits your project files in real time. You'll see code appearing in the editor as it works.

You can go back and forth - ask the AI to change something after a build, or ask it to explain what it wrote.

Reviewing code in the editor

During a build, the editor updates live as the AI writes code. After the build finishes:

• Read through the generated code to make sure it does what you expect
• Make manual edits if needed - your changes save automatically
• Drafts persist across sessions, so you won't lose work if you close the browser

Managing files

The file tree shows every file in your project. Click any file to open it in the editor. The AI can also create, edit, and delete files during builds.

Deploying from the workspace

When your code is ready, click Deploy in the top bar. This pushes your code live to your Google Sheet. See Deploying Your Script for details.
